Azada: Ancient Magic lured me into the adventure games genre.The puzzles are challenging and require skill and patience, probably not for beginners. If you frustrate easily, you may not enjoy the Azada games but this is definitely one of my personal favorites.

As an avid reader, I loved this part even more than its predecessor, 'Azada'. No longer is each section between story a series on unconnected puzzles - in Ancient Magic you delve into well-known stories to help familiar characters solve problems.

A mix of the non-conventional HO scenes from part one along with both logical, object-based problems and simple puzzles, there's plenty of variety here ...Show more

As an avid reader, I loved this part even more than its predecessor, 'Azada'. No longer is each section between story a series on unconnected puzzles - in Ancient Magic you delve into well-known stories to help familiar characters solve problems.

A mix of the non-conventional HO scenes from part one along with both logical, object-based problems and simple puzzles, there's plenty of variety here to keep you interested.

As a quick puzzler, however, I got about half-way through in the one-hour trial. Nonetheless, a worthwhile buy, I thought, despite the shortness. Very, very entertaining.

Overall, fine graphics, unintrusive music #I kept it low, but listened to it somewhat#, cute mini-stories and an absorbing story arc. Reccomended. Show less

The previous reviewer criticized the mini games, but they're what makes the two Azadas both interesting and challenging. If the games' creators told you how to solve the puzzles, what would be the point in playing the game? Not only did I finish both games, but my 11-year-old daughter and I had a blast seeing which one of us would reach the end first!

I recommend this game!

If you're looking for something different, Azada is definitely it; this is not your standard IHOG, but it is interactive. You could say this is probably more of an Adventure game than an Hidden Object game. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous.

These Azada games just get better and better. This second installment is better than the first, yet still highly unique and challenging without crossing the line into frustrating. I was entertained through the whole game.

Another awesome game in the Azada series! This one had fun story lines and fantastic interactive puzzles. Also, if you completed the first Azada, you could unlock another book using the magic words given at the game end. You need to click on the portrait of Titus and enter the letters to form the words. The ending of this game also gave a clue that we think must be useful in the most recent Azada ...Show more

The ending of this game also gave a clue that we think must be useful in the most recent Azada game that was released. The graphics were great and the puzzles and items used in the adventure were not all challenging, but some made you think. The original Azada game & this one are completely different in play and we thought they were both equally fun and will play them again. Show less

"Azada: Ancient Magic" is all about the puzzles. In particular, the scenario puzzles featuring unique characters--from Dorothy looking for her slippers to the Invisible Man seeking a cure--are truly imaginative and fun. They are contained within themselves, which means you can put this game down and pick it up hours later without losing the storyline or having to remember which areas you need to re-explore, as in a more linear game, such as the third one in this series. Most of them take under ten minutes, so there's the excitement of constantly starting fresh. Plus, you get a lot of them, so there's good bang for your buck.

Even most of the one-off puzzles that feature classic solving skills, like connect-the-pipes, object sudokus, and match-the-pairs, are well done.

I'm a huge fan of all three Azada games, and this one just might be my favorite! Show less

I recommend this game!

This is an adventure game (no hidden object scenes) in which you set things right in over 20 different classic tales/books. You do this by solving puzzles and finding and using inventory objects in the right places. You get the choice of timed or untimed mode. Personally I liked timed mode because you get a time penalty for using objects in the wrong places, which I feel is a reward for thinking ...Show more

This is an adventure game (no hidden object scenes) in which you set things right in over 20 different classic tales/books. You do this by solving puzzles and finding and using inventory objects in the right places. You get the choice of timed or untimed mode. Personally I liked timed mode because you get a time penalty for using objects in the wrong places, which I feel is a reward for thinking and not just randomly using items everywhere. :P

The graphics are really beautiful and varied, thanks to the great selection of books. The game locations look like painted illustrations on pages in a book and there is a satisfying page turning animation/sound. Even though there are only a few pages in each book, they're enough to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the book. The music is really great too, with a different soundtrack for every book.

The puzzles are the best part of the game. There's a good number of original puzzles, including a couple of arcade-style ones. All puzzles can be skipped, although you get a limited number of skips. They were of above average difficulty, though I never found myself stuck or frustrated. Show less
